I was in our new Comet elec store and all tv's on theback wall were playing and when this sketch came on all the adults stopped and watched it, it was brilliant to see. Everyone laughed as if it was a new sketch. Priceless.
lyrebu. Every Two Ronnies sketch was brilliant, and not an "ist" to be heard. Loved loads of the Cleese, Barker and Corbett earlier ones. Today's output is largely crap.and can rarely raise a titter. Can watch and roll about at Porridge, Open All Hours, Only Fools, Ab Fab Vicar of Dibley and repeats of many other programmes made up to 5 or 6 years ago.
Fork 'andles and every sketch throughout The Two Ronnies was brilliant. Never "ist" of any sort or kind. Today's output is total crap. Sad that Only Fools and Ab Fab has gone. Always happy to see repeats of Porridge, Open All Hours, Vicar of Dibley and have a good old belly laugh.
PURE GENIUS....! Barker was the brains and they both admit this was probably the best sketch Barker ever wroke, comedy like this just doesn't exist anymore, you have to swear alot now to make it funny or be really offensive. This is one realy clever sketch.
this is the best comedy you will ever get. graham coo you are so right my friend. old comedy is the best (morcambe and wise, porridge, open all hours, two ronnies, fawlty towers) the list goes on and on
Gerald Wiley outdid himself when he wrote this sketch! I've been telling my friends about this and they had no idea what I was going on about, so now I can show them! Thanks so much for posting, what I feel, is THE BEST sketch in British history!
HELP. I'm collecting everything I can find about the genius that was Ronny B. I heard him say in a interview that he thought the ending to FC was weaker than the rest of the sketch - I mean the bit about the Billhooks. He said that he was driving his car one day and an alternative (and much funnier ending(his words)) came into his mind and he then went on to say what it was. Does anyone remember what he said?
RIP great man. I bet your making them laugh in heaven.
the best ever comedy sketch, i can just remeber it first time round having just watched it again it has brought tears of pure laughter to my eyes, todays 'comedians' could learn a thing or two absoulute magic
Perhaps the funniest comedy sketch ever written... British comedy writers need look no further than this to see why the comedy of yester year was classic, while today it isn't.
Classic comedy. Why can't anybody write stuff like this anymore. Makes the comedy of today look so pathetic. Very few around like the Two Ronnies. One or two stand ups are good but funny comedy sketches like this don"t exist, and don't anybody say "what about LITTLE BRITAIN", because compared to Two Ronnies, that is crap.
This was referenced in a lesson the other day and I just had to look it up and remind myself how the whole sketch went

This sketch runs 6 1/2 minutes and there are no lulls in it. It's never boring. It's consistently funny.
SNL sketches die after 30 seconds.
